Happy 3rd Birthday, Allie!

Happy Birthday Sweet, Amazing Allie. We love you so much and are so thankful you came into our lives! You bring so much happiness to us and to everyone you meet. We are so proud of all that you have done in just 3 short (and very very quick) years. You are growing way too fast for us, but we will never hold you back. We love you so much and are so proud of your determination to accomplish so many things. I thought this entry was a perfect place to glance back at how far you have come over the past 3 years. We love you so much more than you will ever imagine.

Love, Mommy & Daddy

Year One - from your Birth Day to your first Birthday.
You gave us so much from the first moment we saw you and you
taught us to be strong and stand back as you took the world by surprise!

Year Two - You gave us a present on Christmas Eve by sitting on your own and
you never slowed down after that. Your sweet personality continues to emerge!

Year Three - It seems every day this year you were doing something new.
You are determined to walk and are doing it on your own now. You
are practicing sounding out words and you are so playful and so loving.
You have a genuine love for life and luckily - for us, too.

Thank you, Dear Allie. You have changed our lives for the better.

Happy Birthday, Lil' Bit!
We all love you so very much!

Hi, Allie - it is me, Nicky - thanks for throwing the
ball to me all the time and sharing your food with me.
I love it! Woof! Woof!

All About Me

Just call me Allie

I was born on November 19, 2007 and was 6 weeks early and really small for my "age". I weighed 2 pounds and 5 ounces and was 13 1/4 inches long. I didn't come home until I was 72 days old. When I was 4 1/2 months old, I had Open Heart Surgery and was in the hospital in Birmingham for 15 days.

When I was about 8 months old, I began wearing bi-lateral hearing aids because I have a mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Oh, and I have Trisomy 21, which means I have more chromosomes than most of you. It is also called Down syndrome.
